What the record says
NCEI’s account, from the sources it cites.
1932, June 29. There was a tsunami at Cuyutlan (Heck, 1934,
1947). Iida's summary (Iida et al., 1967) casts doubt on the reliability of the data. Ordoiiez (1933) notes that, as well as mild earthquakes, less strong incursions of the sea were observed many times in the south of Jalisco state and in Colima state after June 22. (reference #415)
1932, June 29. Tidal wave at Cayutlan. (reference #132)
29 June 1932. Only Heck (1947) reports a tidal wave at Cayutlan. No earthquake appears in other references. Possibly a mistaken entry. (reference #82)
1932, June 29. Some authors mention a tsunami in Cuyutlan
on this date, but there are doubts about its happening. (reference #369)
